WOW, sweet modding guys. NNC looks insane, kinda reminds me of space craft from an old sci-fi movie and extreme air reminds me of the old 40k space marine back pack. The wood effect in Tikki is stunning, great air brushing skills!
I voted for extreme air because it has tons of potential to be a really great mod and I have to say that the fiberglassing over foam just impresses me. I need to try that.
Hmm thats a tough one, they're all really impressive, but I think I'll have to go for the Tiki Aquarium since I've never seen anything like it before. I notice a lot of people are doing wood cases now, and they do look pretty damn cool.
Fibonacci Sequence: Nice work, good attention to detail - of course comparisons with the work of greensabbath seem inevitable whenever someone makes a wood case. (sorry, greensabbath wins, but this is still a very nice work in progress - perhaps when it's complete I may think otherwise) The gold is very nice.
Extreme Air: As greensabbath said: "tons of potential" - I'd love to see & vote on the finished build. Nice concept.
NNC: That's an insane amount of work & details (reminds me of the mouse & keyboard by filimon (another Russian)). Plus the amount of homemade parts is awesome. This is not my style but truly awesome work.
Tube Radio: It has a clean look & nice attention to detail but it's not as big of a mod as some of the others. Still, It's one of the two I'd most like to have in my home.
Tikki Aquarium: The second mod I'd like to have in my home. This would be great as a media center but really could work anywhere you have space for it. Nice attention to detail as well.
Congrats to all on the nominations. For me it's a close call but Tikki Aquarium gets my vote.
Nice idea a mod of the month competition. Good luck guys and stoff3r build or mod, both require skills when done right. I've done a classic, old school as you call it, casemod and now I'm working on a build. Sometimes you just want to do something completely different.

Are you implying building a new case from scratch is easier than modding a previous case? It is a mod, anyway, you're modding wood, plastic, or whatever material into a case :p
no i guess it's what you make of it that sets the standard for how hard it is. but i think bit-tech even had a column about "what is a mod". he discussed the way computer mods are heading, and wondered where goes the line for calling it a computer mod. if you take a real-size model of keira knightley and ram a computer in it, it would look great, but is it a mod? but hey it was just a comment, don't take no offence.
To be honest stoff3r has a point, they aren't technically mods, I'd say the title should be changed to "Case of the month" or "Log Of The Month" for increased accuracy.
true I guess calling it Work/project log of the month would be more of an appropriate title but anyhow they all look great but Im going with the Tikki ^_^

True, they ain't technically case mods, but they do take a lot of skill to do well, whereas mods don't always (although there are many mods that take immense amounts of skill and patience like NNC). Building a case has become synonymous with modding, even if the community is turning more to building a case from scratch, I don't really see the problem with it since it's still a very impressive and skilled thing to do.
Zero_Limits Extreme Air gets my vote. I think that it has a huge potential to become something really special. I just love the design and i cant wait to see the finished case. Its always a pleasure to se someone with great skills in both building and designing do his thing :)
Really hard to pick one, great work to all of you guys.
In the end i picked Extreme Air.
Keep up the great modding, really enjoy reading all these worklogs.
Haha, I looked at the closing date for the poll and became really confused. I was like, didn't June already pass, then I remembered this is an EU website. Silly me.
All look really good but I had to go with the Tiki.
